[cl-xmpp-devel] force-output on read-stanza

[Kevin Crosbie]

Hi,

I'm using cl-xmpp on Franz Allegro 8.1 with ejabberd 2.0.0 rc1.
I was wondering if anybody can tell me the reason for doing a 
force-output in the read-stanza function.
This has been in the function since it was added:
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cl-xmpp/cl-xmpp.lisp?root=cl-xmpp&r1=1.1&r2=1.2
however I can't see why one would need to do this when reading.   Surely 
that is handled by whoever is writing to the stream.

Best Regards,

Kevin
